Meghan Markle's Fave Toronto Spots

This article is featured on:

While she may not have been born here, the people of Toronto like to think of Meghan Markle as one of their own. Thanks to her role as Rachel Zane on Suits, the star spent the better part of seven years in the Canadian city and she made it her home. Now, we've rounded up her favourite spots. While an invite to the Royal Wedding 2.0 may be out of reach, exploring Toronto through Meghan's eyes will be almost as good, we promise.

Meghan is often seen wearing Canadian brands, with Vancouver-based Aritzia being one of her ultimate faves. She even wore a chic maroon Aritzia dress to the opening ceremonies at last year's Invictus Games in Toronto, one of her first public outings with her then-BF.

In 2015, Meghan opened up about her go-to beauty destinations in the city, telling us that Gee Beauty on Roxborough Street in midtown is "amazing for all the creature comforts you want—truth be told, I spend so much time in hair and makeup for work that in my off time I indulge with maintenance and relaxation vs. glam."

Kensington Market

"Kensington Market, a local mecca for all things food and fun, is several blocks of fishmongers, meat purveyors, mom-and-pop veggie stands, juice bars and fantastic hole-in-the-wall restaurants," Meghan told lifestyle site MyDomaine. The pedestrian-only summer market makes for the perfect lazy Sunday outing.

Meghan often gave Terroni, a Toronto institution, her love. Most memorably, she gave the Italian eatery's chilies a shoutout in her Vanity Fair cover story, where she opened up about her relationship with Prince Harry.

Trinity Bellwoods is a "hipster's paradise," Meghan also told MyDomaine. And of course, the huge park—a favourite among many Torontonians—was the perfect space for the star to walk her dogs, Bogart and Guy.
